Dave Barry, that indefatigable yukmeister, writes terrific humor columns (never mind that they all begin to sound the same if you read him regularly). He's the funniest friend you never had. If you read his column--better yet, if you don't read his column--get your hands on a copy of
The Book of Bad Songs. Barry's style is so effortless that you can't resist quoting him. This bit is from his mock-hortatory introduction: "If you keep reading, you're going to have all kinds of bad songs waking up and creeping around inside your brain, refusing to die, just like the corpses in the movie The Night of the Living Dead ..."

"Feelings." "MacArthur Park." Any record by Gary Puckett. These are just a few of the titles submitted by over ten thousand readers who responded to columnist Dave Barry's "Bad Song Survey." Barry lists the results and discusses the songs in this hilarious audio--DAVE BARRY'S BOOK OF BAD SONGS. Mike Dodge uses his experience in doing commercials to give just the right touch of sarcasm to the reading. For weeks after listening to this book you'll be trying to forget gems like "Little Green Apples" and that all-time favorite "Watching Scotty Grow." This is one book that is even more fun when listened to by a group. S.I.R. (c)AudioFile, Portland, Maine
